Answer:

A. $2.00

B. $26.99

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 x 49.99 = 24.995

49.99 - 24.995 = 24.995

0.08 x 24.995 = 1.9996 and round to the nearest hundredth

24.995 + 1.9996 = 26.9946

round to the nearest hundredth

Answer:

Part a: 1.9996

Part b: 26.9946

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1:

Find the unit rate (1% of 49.99). You should get 0.4999. Then, multiply 0.4999 by 50. You should get 24.995.

STEP 2:

Find the unit rate of 24.995. You should get 0.24995. Then multiply 0.24995 by 8. <u>You should get 1.9996 (answer for part a).</u>

<u />

STEP 3:

Add 1.9996 to 24.995. <u>You should get 26.9946 (answer to part b).</u>

In triangle JKL, sin(b°) = three fifths and cos(b°) = four fifths. If triangle JKL is dilated by a scale factor of 2, what is ta
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Tan(b°) = 3/4 = three fourths (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle JKL is a right angled triangle in which angle K is a right angle and angle L= b°

We would apply SOHCAHTOA from trigonometry to determine the value for each sides.

For ∆JKL

Sin(b°) = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin(b°) = 3/5

Cos(b°) = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos(b°) = 4/5

Tan(b°) = 3/4

From the above we know the value of each sides of ∆JKL

Find attached the diagram of the above triangle (1)

∆JKL is dilated by a scale factor = 2

Meaning we would multiply each sides of ∆JKL by 2. The values of the new triangle become:

Opposite = 2(3) = 6

Adjacent = 2(4) = 8

Hypotenuse = 2(5) = 10

To find tan(b°) of the new triangle, we would apply tangent ratio

Tan(b°) = opposite/adjacent

Tan(b°) = 6/8

Tan(b°) = 3/4

Find attached the diagram for the new triangle (2)

Diagram 3 shows the drawing of both triangles together.

From the above, we can see the angle doesn't change when a shape is dilated by a scale factor.

Therefore, tan(b°) = three fourths (C)

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Correlation requires both variables to be quantitative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient measures the strength of relationship between two quantitative variables. In the given scenario correlation between sex of American workers and their income is computed and indicated that there is a high correlation between them. The sex of American worker is a categorical variable or a qualitative variable while income of American worker is a quantitative variable. The correlation between a quantitative variable and a qualitative variable can't be computed. So, the statement explains the blunder in the given scenario is "Correlation requires both variables to be quantitative".
